Toughest week to pick is the first week I'm picking :-/

Come on, someone please pick the Lights. Just once!? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Don't bother!


And btw, what does "Quality of scores" mean in the table? Is it how the computer reckons you're doing Vs with what it calculated, with positive being better?

Just wondering...

Yes. Basically its how you are doing "against the spread".

It seems like a few teams have suddenly woken up and are playing vastly better than they were at the beginning of the season. There aren't really many "gimmes" on anyone's schedule right now, no matter how good they are. Crazy Naga and its crazy parity.

A little British Invasion for this week's picks:

Naga:
Mekong Delta Force (5-3) vs. Cambodia Mountain Men (6-2)
- You can knock me down, slap my face, slander my name all over the place.
Do anything that you want to do, but oh oh Mekong, lay off them Mountain Men. Mountain Men by 1 (homer pick)

Thai Fighters (4-4) vs. East St Louis Tire Fires (6-2)
- Here come old ESL, he come grooving up slowly. He got ju-ju offense, he's one holy defense. He got kickers & punters on special teams. Got to be a joker he just do what he please. ESL by 10.

Anchorage Northern Lights (1-7) vs. Mongolian Horde (1-7)
- I'll help you with your DC my friend if it makes you feel alright. I'll get you anything my friend, if it makes you feel alright. I don't care too much for Mongolia, Mongolia can't buy the Horde a win. Lights by 6.

Beijing Black Dragons (7-1) vs. NBA Jam (6-2)
- You know they gameplan all day, to get the AI to win this game. And it's worth it just to hear the Jam say “GG.” Dragons by 6.

Phnom Penh Warriors (1-7) vs. Pa Dong Dragons (1-7)
- Yesterday, all Pa Dong’s troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. PPW by 3.

Bacolod Skullcrushers (3-5) vs. Portland Dirty Penguins (7-1)
- Hold them, score on them, hold them, score on them. You ain't got nothin' but a win Penguins, in the game this week. PDP by 28.

Bali Insurrection (2-6) vs. Ujung Pandang Warriors (6-2)
- All the Bali people, where did they all go to? UPW by 28.

Palembang Drunken Monks (5-3) vs. Winona Warriors (6-2)
- They’re fixing a hole where the LB gets in and stops their HB from running. Where it will go? Warriors by 6.

Garuda:
Batdambang Killer Koalas (5-3) vs. Aggieland Fightin' Farmers (3-5)
- BKK was a man who thought he was a loner but he knew it couldn't last. BKK left his home in Cambodia for some Aggieland grass. BKK by 10.

Arctic Avalanche (4-4) vs. Laos King Pongers (1-7)
- Hey Laos don't make it bad. Take a sad season and make it better. Remember, Shanghai is still on your schedule. Then you can start to make it better. Avalanche by 28.

Vietnamese Sweatshop (0-8) vs. Louisiana Screaming Pelicans (3-5)
- I think Vietnam is gonna be sad, I think it's today, yeah. The team that's headed towards demotion is going away. LSP by 14.

Manila Warlords (2-6) vs. Myanmar Military Junta (7-1)
- When Manila was younger, so much younger than today, they never needed anybody's help in anyway. But now these days are gone. MMJ by 20.

Shanghai Steelers (0-8) vs. Oakland Naughty Ottsel (4-4)
- Try to see it the Ottsel way, do they have to keep on talking till they can't go on? While you see it Shanghai’s way, run the risk of knowing that your team may soon be gone? Ottsel by 17.

The Manila Guerrillas (4-4) vs. Padang Orangutans (6-2)
- Well, she was just a gorilla (not a guerrilla), you know what I mean, and the way she looked was way beyond compare. Orangutans by 7.

Sydney Sharks (4-4) vs. Singapore Canes (5-3)
- When I find myself in times of trouble, Singapore comes to me speaking words of wisdom, let it be. Canes by 10.

Bangalore Monsoon (5-3) vs. Tet Offensive (8-0)
- You say you want a see a Tet loss, well you know. We'd all want to change the world. Tet by 6.

Yeah, I really butchered one of my favorite songs, this help?

"You know I work all day to get you money to buy you things
And it's worth it just to hear you say you're gonna give me everything"

That...was fucking great. So great I don't even care about you picking against the Monks. I'd pick against them right now too. You've been burned picking them recently too.

Great stuff.

YES! jmarter picked the Lights this week! Everyone on The Lights bandwagon! Seriously...will someone please get on my wagon? PLEASE? I feel kind of silly sitting on this little wagon all by myself...

Nicely done!

jmarter ftw!
